Hasunosora is the fifth entry in the Love Live! multimedia project. The story follows a group of girls who balance their school life with their work as idols at Hasunosora Private Academy in Kanazawa. What made this project stand out from the start was its connection to real time: the main story played out inside the Link! Like! Love Live! app, which shut down in June this year, and events followed the real calendar, with graduations, grade changes, and seasonal festivities.

The anime will adapt the arc covering April to June of the 106th generation. Among the new students are Nishikami Maika, voiced by Hoshimiya Juria, and Reisawa Aoi, played by Asahi Kana, who already debuted in the franchise's animated film. Joining them now is Shiwawa Mion, voiced by Yuzawa Kanae, a girl who loves magic shows.

The cast is rounded out by members we already know from previous generations: Seras Yanagida Lilienfeld (Miyake Miu) from the 105th, and from the 104th, Momose Gineko (Sakurai Hina), Tomomachi Kozue (Hayama Fuka), Anyoji Hime (Kurusu Rin), and Katsuragi Izumi (Shindo Amane).

With seven episodes confirmed, the series will cover a short but intense stretch of the school calendar. For those of us who followed the project through the app, seeing this arc in anime form is a chance to revisit the story in a more accessible way, now that the original service is no longer available.
